Water Polo had three games last week. A win against Lockport, a loss against Naperville Central, and a win against Andrew. We were also ranked 17th in the state by illpolo.com, the best ranking Metea has ever had in school history.

Came to watch those aurora boys play some ball. Enjoyed my time there with Dan Turter and Eugene Baker. Definitely should have more students go to the game. They are also ranked 4th in the state. Definitely the best team at Metea.
